Catching up with the remote team is tough since they’re constantly boarding first class flights across the pacific and partying late nights in the most exclusive NYC nightclubs, but luckily after 5 first class flights, $700 worth of liquor and NYC cover charges I finally bumped into Silas Thurman and Andrew Pastura to get the backstory on this shot from our 10 Year Photo Annual Issue.

The Shot: Andrew Pastura by Silas Thurman

– Silas –

Camera: 7D

Lens: fish eye

Setting: A nice backyard gap with decent sunlight. To put it in one word “romantic”.

We had no clue you had photo skills, how does it feel to be published in the 10 year issue?

s: It feels amazing. I just want to thank everyone at the publication for making this happen. All the readers. Yan for the coaching. Dammit it’s just so unreal.

As a photographer, what was the biggest challenge during this shoot?

s: The camera.

What are you going to spend the check for the photo on?

s: Probably pay the remote secratary. She hasn’t been paid for a while and that Christmas bonus we promised is definitely not in the mail.

Do you have plans to shoot more next year?

s: Hell ya! Remote world tour. We’ll be shootin the whole thing.

What’s the best part of shooting with Andrew?

s: We just sinc up ya know. Photog and rider like cookies and cream or thanksgiving and turkey.
